Oh wow, was it really done in Lois and Clark? That's actually really cool. I've been meaning to get more into that show. I have no nostalgia for it because I was too young to have really gotten into that sort of show when it aired, but the more I hear about it, the more I find some of the stray ideas compelling on some level. A few episodes and some contextless clips on Youtube don't really tell you much of anything about when it caught its stride.
This is honestly one of the big draws for me. Year and years of Lois and Superman engulfing where ever they're seen together in a thick fog of sexual tension, even going on actual dates together, and him obviously keeping a super close eye on her is catching up with them. It just took the extreme circumstance of them not seeing each other in a long while to have them slip up. And if I remember right, didn't Lois and Superman declare their love for one another and kiss in public during the Doomsday fight? A similar extreme situation, but they got lucky because of all the commotion. I love that the underworld knows how special Lois is to Superman.Before Lois being with Superman before Clark isn't news. The world knows how close they are even now, no doubt there are those who've always suspected that these two have carried out an affair all this time even without any actual proof. You see it even in #1001 with key words (particularly Lois) that the Metropolis underbelly refrains from saying because they know Superman's always listening for it. It was impossible for people not to draw their own conclusions before this preview shot, let alone witness that careless mistake of embracing like a married couple in public.
The fact that she's not always targeted means that everyone simply knows it's just not a great idea to even try that play lest you catch this Kryptonian fade lol
Yeah, I really dig the idea that it would be just Trish doing her job, but just not thinking about the repercussions for the people involved.The only difference between this and the show is that this won't be done out of malice to destroy Superman's reputation. It was an accident that Trish has unwittingly stumbled upon and will naturally exploit it as we saw already in #1001.
Been thinking about this one a lot, and that may mean Lois and Clark took a break before being married. Lois could put it in her Tell All book. But regardless of if this will be the answer or not, or if Jon will be outed, we've still got a teen Superboy where their used to be a 10 to 11 year old, and that's gonna take some interesting doing no matter what.
NICE! Hadn't even thought of that. Sort of an All Star Superman style good deed for the sake of doing good that comes back to save Clark's ass in the end. Also would do some more good for Trish as a character. I remember Bendis had JJ change his ways pretty hard after Magneto attacked in the Ultimate universe. He even had JJ kill the story that would've "outed" Miles' dad as the new Spider-Man. Very similar.I honestly think Trish may bury the story and what we are shown isn't published yet. Superman just saved her life, she's going to out him and hurt his friends for a story after that?
